Chapter 24 The Shameless Cai Mao
As a commander, as a general, in addition to understanding soldiers, familiarizing themselves with military strategies, and being good at setting up formations, there is also an important quality, which is to judge the situation, be good at creating and seizing opportunities.
To put it in a general way, you can adapt to the situation and know the details.
At this point, Huang Zhong is a qualified general!
In an instant, he came up with a way to let the enemy reveal his flaws, and at the moment when the flaws were exposed, he seized the opportunity to quickly kill the opponent, without any delay, and did not let the opponent have any chance to turn the tables.
If Chen Sheng was shot to death by Huang Zhong because his opponent unexpectedly attacked him, Zhang Hu's death was completely blamed.
He blamed his mind for not being calm enough, for not having the opportunity to judge the situation and not being able to remain calm in the face of danger.
He died because of insufficient adaptability, that's all.
Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng were shot and injured in succession, which was completely beyond everyone's expectations. Both the soldiers of the Cai Kuai family and their own soldiers were shocked.
From ancient times to the present, there are very few main generals who were shot and killed on the battlefield, and there are still two main generals who were shot and killed in the same battle, which is unheard of.
This can only explain one problem, either Huang Zhong is too brave and his archery skills are too superb, or Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng are too useless.
Without the commander, the thief army that had been loosely trained became a mob. At this time, they neither organized a decent counterattack nor were they interested in fighting.
The bandits had no meaning or belief in their hearts. They stood on the battlefield to fight. If they wanted to survive, they were either to satisfy their selfish desires or to be forced by the Lord. No matter what situation they were in, the death of the Lord was enough to destroy their fighting spirit.
Without a few cups of tea, the Jiangxia thieves outside the city seemed to have agreed and fled in all directions in great tacit understanding, even disregarding Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng's corpses.
And for Liu Qi, this is naturally a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
But opportunities are generally given to those who are prepared.
"Cousin, immediately lead troops to seize the bodies of Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng, and then divide the troops into the city from the four gates of Xiangyang, use the two thieves to surrender the thieves, and control the defense of Xiangyang city."
Liu Pan was ready to beat his hands, and he was waiting for this moment.
He immediately handed over the soldiers who had already been divided into four garrisons to the four military marquises under his command. He personally directed and dispatched the troops. The various formations began to march towards Xiangyang City according to the established strategies exercised before the war.
At this moment, Kuai Yue came to Liu Qi by horse.
He rode a horse very slowly, as if he was hesitating about something. Although there was a smile on his face, it seemed quite stiff.
"I don't want the young master to hold a military force, but he has the style of a man. He will judge the situation regardless of the situation. However, he is rare in the world in the world to fight for this decisive and responsive ability. Not only is the general known to the soldiers, but the soldiers are also the generals!"
Liu Qi came from later generations and was best at listening to these unspoken voices when he was in society.
And how should Kuai Yue describe it?
Not only is there an implicit sound, but it is also a bit sour.
What kind of soldiers know the general?
All fools know that most of the soldiers under Liu Qi's command are private soldiers of the sects who have just been surrendered. How could the soldiers and generals know each other at such a time?
It is clear that there are arrangements in advance.
Kuai Yue is in a naked run.
But Liu Qi didn't care.
He cooperated with the Cai and Kuai tribes to destroy the clan and divide the interests equally. Moreover, the heads of the Cai and Kuai families were also entrusted with important positions by Liu Biao. In Liu Qi's view, the Liu family was very kind and righteous to the Cai and Kuai families, and they did not take any slightest respect.
It was Cai Mao who was not satisfied with his own people and had no self-reliance to refute himself in person, and he not only had to surrender Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng's troops to seize the defense of Xiangyang City!
Even if he let Zhang Hu kill him, he deserves it.
If the city defense in Xiangyang is occupied by Cai Mao, the lives of the Liu family and his son will be placed in the hands of the Cai family in the future.
This is like the Liu father and son handing over the keys of their home to an outsider. The outsider may move all the property in the house at any time, or quietly open the door in the middle of the night and kill the people in the house.
Even a normal person wouldn't do this, right?
If Liu Qi does not fight back against this infringement, he will compromise like this. Will the seven counties in Jingzhou be surnamed Liu or Cai in the future?
Power is crazy. If you don’t protect it with your life, you will be taken away by it when you look back!
...
Liu Qi looked at Kuai Yue without explaining, but just looked at him calmly.
He did not see joy or anger, and he did not see him just to make excuses.
He was the young master of Jingzhou, and he and his father Liu Biao were the legitimate masters of Xiangyang.
As the master, is it necessary for the opponent to go down and explain?
Kuai Yue was uncomfortable by Liu Qi's calm eyes.
"Young Master, are you...?"
"We can enter the city later."
After Liu Qi just said this, he stopped talking and turned to look at the south gate of Xiangyang City in the distance - watching Huang Zhong and Huang Xu and his son command and dispatch the defeated troops who killed Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng.
"promise……"
Kuai Yue responded carefully, but his heart was filled with storm.
After all, I underestimated this boy.
He originally thought that this young man was easy-going and talkative, and he liked to talk and laugh on weekdays. Although he had far-reaching wisdom and many tricks, he should be a gentle person in essence.
But until today, Kuai Yue discovered that these things that were floating on the surface were all illusions.
The young master of Jingzhou should have a stronger desire for power and status than anyone else.
Such a person can joke with him on weekdays, but once he touches the bottom line of his power, the consequences...
A drop of sweat dripped from Kuai Yue's forehead.
He turned his head and looked at Cai Mao, who was supported by the guards and returned to the formation. He was quite embarrassed, and his heart was beating slightly.
If Cai Mao hadn't dodged in time just now, would he be dead?
Cai Mao came to the formation and met everyone's eyes, with shame on his face, wishing he could find a crack in the ground to get into it.
Liu Qi turned over and dismounted, walked quickly to Cai Mao, and said with concern: "General Cai, are you injured?"
Cai Mao was ashamed: "In the care of Shaojun, Mao was not injured by Zhang Hu's thief. He just fell off the horse and injured his back. It was difficult to stand upright at this moment."
Liu Qi showed anger on his face, and his voice was full of hostility: "The two thieves Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng, who pretended to surrender, were ill-intentioned to assassinate General Cai, trying to harm our Jingzhou barrier... Fortunately, God blessed him, and fortunately, the traitor's tricks had not succeeded. If the general had any mistakes, how should Qi explain to Jun Yan?"
"hiss--"
Kuai Yue, who was not far away, heard Liu Qi's words for some reason, felt chill all over his body, and he couldn't help but let out a moan from his mouth.
The emotions in the sound are extremely complicated.
Kuai Liang looked at Kuai Yue in confusion and said strangely: "Second brother, are you uncomfortable?"
"Don't blame me, brother... it's just a toothache."
Cai Mao did not have as sharp eyes as Kuai Yue. He was arrogant and arrogant in the previous episode and directly refuted Liu Qi's opinion. Now he was cared for by Liu Qi and felt ashamed.
"By thanking the care of the young master, Mao... Mao felt deeply ashamed."
Liu Qi ordered the guard behind Cai Mao to say, "So quickly lead the general back to the rear to rest. Everything in Xiangyang will be decided by Qi and Kuai Jun. The general does not have to worry about it... Just keep your waist safe."
After Cai Mao expressed his gratitude to Liu Qi, he was taken back by the guards to recuperate.
At this time, Huang Zhong and others had dispersed and surrendered the soldiers and generals of Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng outside the city, and the bodies of the two thieves were taken by Liu Pan to enter Xiangyang from other city gates to deter and recruit the two thieves.
The people who were suffering from the city just now were quarrels and crowded with noises were gradually calmed down because the war ended.
Although the people's panic has subsided, if you observe carefully, you can see that they are still a little afraid.
Liu Qi looked at him coldly, and saw that the time had come, so he said to Kuai Yue: "Mr. Yidu, please help me accompany me to comfort the people."
When Kuai Yue saw Liu Qi calling him to go with him, he felt a little nervous.
He knew that Liu Qi knew that he had seen something wrong with Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng, so he deliberately asked him to go with him.
I'm afraid I'm going to say something to myself?
Kuai Yue was both impressed and felt a little scared about this young master of Jingzhou who was different from each other.
What should I do? Should I be a false condemnation or a just rebuke him?
